Discussion Proton offers me a "25% discount" on Visionary but the price is the regular one
Today I clicked the 'Upgrade' button in one of my Proton products, just out of curiosity, and saw an offer for one year of Proton Visionary with a 25% discount. The price offered, with the 25% discount applied, is € 359.88 for 12 months.
Of course I wanted to compare this to the regular price. I found the regular price on this Proton support page: https://proton.me/support/proton-plans#proton-visionary. On there, it states that € 359.88 is the normal price for Visionary, so, without any discount.
This is strange, right? The 25% offer should bring the price down to €269,91, but as stated above, it would charge me the full € 359.88. I don't want to be subjective, but it seems to be a fake discount. Offering a fake discounted price while charging the regular price is illegal in some EU countries. I hope this is not done on purpose by Proton AG.
Do others see this too? What do you think is happening? May be I am overlooking something.
